THE MAUI NEWS, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1917.
Maui Merchants To
Help Maui Farmers
(Continued from Foge One.)
chandise Department of Alexander &
Baldwin, Ltd. 'wrote me a very com
prehensible, constructive, critical let
ter on Maui products and why there
was not a greater demand by the
store-keeper for them, I believe that
this Rives a Very good idea of the dif
ficulties the farmers have to overcome
at their end of the game. He shows
how our Irish potatoes are undersize,
howour onions are not picked right
and cured properly, how our corn Is
ant to weevil, and our beans were ai
so spoiled. He also shows how a great
manv of these troubles could be over
come by the farmer by fertilizing and
spravlr," the potatoes, by fumigating
the corn and beans and by properly
picking and curing the onions, so that
the store-keepers would have no od
lection whatever to their purchase,
provided they were given reasonable
notice of the time at which deliveries
could be expected. He shows it is
the store and notify the store-keeper
thestore and notify the store-keeper
that he has twenty-five bags, of potat
oes and expert the store-keeper to
take them off his hands.
The most of the produce imported of
this kind is bought a month to six
weeks in advance, and if the producer
could give the store-keeper say seven
or eight weeks' notice, he would have
no difficulty in disposing of his good.i
locally, providing he had a standard
article for sale.
2. The next step was to take up
tlis subject with a number of local
store managers and find out their at
titude in regard to buying home pro
ducts. I -am very pleased to report
that I had no idea that the stores were
going to entertain such a very liberal
attitude. One store-keeper particular
ly, who probably controls more busi
ness than any other Maui firm, wrote
me that he would be glad to take all
the farm products that, could be
grown. In this personal talk with me
he said that he would be glad to take
the marketing of all the produce
grown on Maul even though he were
to lose on some of it. This is certain
ly stimulating news to the farmers but
they should see to It that no one
should lose on their products as a loss
would boomerang and hit the producer
in the long run.
3. The next step was to see bb
many of the producers as I could. I
am sorry to say that I 'have not had
time to interview very many of the
producers. I believe however, that I
have a fair idea of their attitude and
that they are striving to bring up their
product and it Is their aim to make
their product the best there is on the
Islands and better than the imported
goods.
For lack of capital and ignorance
we have all fallen down more or less
in the past. With the extra stimulant
of good prices for potatoes and corn
particularly, I believe that better
methods of cultivation will be employ
ed. In summing up the facts you will
see that what we need Is a good sys
tem of agricultural direction and
marketing.
I had the pleasure of meeting with
the Food Commission twice while In
Honolulu last week. The first meet
ing was with the ladies who represent
ed different organizations. The fact
that was brought out and emphasized
most at this meeting was the necess
ity for proper advertising and the
hearty co-operation of every man, wo
man, and child if we wish to make
our Islands self-supporting in food
stuffs. At the second meeting with
the Food Commission I was able to
get an idea of the plan by which they
hoped to build up a system which will
give the Territorial Marketing Division
better facilities for handling our pro
ducts, and the Food Commission will
put a man on Maui who will act as
an agent for the Food Commission and
the Territorial Marketing Division,
and will have many of the responsib
ilities of a county agent who was sug
gested to your board a short time ago
with the exeption that he will be re
sponsible to the Marketing Division
and the Food Commission. He will
also be, kept posted and informed by
oix store-keepers locally as to what
needs there are and what proportion
of the Maui grown crops they will need
and only the balance will be shipped
to Honolulu.
If every one in this Association
could feel the responsibility of bring
ing Maui products up above standard
and also the responsibility of market
ing them, I am sure we could do a
great deal in making Maul and the Is
land smore self-supporting.
Yours very truly,
H. W. RICE.

Maui Agricultural Notes
Rice Has Labor Saving Machinery New

Product Potato Spraying
New Potato Experiments
Harold Rice is now harvesting his
fine two hundred acre field of corn at
Makawao. An especially interesting
feature is the use of a Deering modern,
self-binding corn harvester used In
gathering this years crop. Three
horses are used on the machine which
cuts, bundles and ties the corn into
convenient bunches. The corn Is then
shocked as is common in mainland
corn belt. Mr. Rice will also use a
power husking and shreding machine,
thus saving the tedious and expensive
hand labor processes.
Potato Spraying Promising
The potato spraying experiments
conducted by C. W. Carpenter, patho
logist of the Hawaii experiment sta
tion. In the Kula and Makawao regions
have progressed sufficiently to demon
strate the fesibility of this method of
controlling the blight, even under
somewhat adverse weather conditions.
Several of the growers on whose farms
the experiments are being conducted
have expressed their confidence in the
practice. There seems little question
but that the preliminary work thus
far done by the Hawaii experiment
station will have a far reaching effect
on the potato industry on Maui.
Developing New Varieties
The Extension Division at Haiku ip
cooperation with the newly formed
Food Commission is about to inaugur
ate a series of potato growing experi
ments with a view to introducing Im
proving varieties and better methods
of culture.
Sanitarium Farm Progressing
The agricultural department of the
Kula Sanitarium in charge of R. E.
Cou'rsen, has recently installed a
power spraying outfit for use on pota
toes and other crops being grown on
the sanitarium farm. This is a big
step forward in the matter of better

Expensive Seed
Harold Rice has just purchased 350
bags of certiflezd seed potatoes on the
coast at 4.25 per bag, or a total of
$1480.50 for the lot. Mr. Rice states
that his potato patch of some 25 acres
will cost him 63 per acre for seed
alone.
New Tractor Arrive
, The arrival last week of a new type
of light fram tractor has been of con
siderable interest to agriculturists on
Maui who have seen it. It has been
purchased by D. T. Fleming, of the
Ilonolua Ranch who will give it a
thorough try-out as soon as possible.
The machine is a "10-20" manufactur
ed by the Cleveland Trad or Company,
which is a subsidiary concern of the
White Automobile Company, and is
one of which Clarence G. White,
formerly of Maui, was much interest
ed in designing. It is of the track
layer type ,and except in size, resem
bles the familiar "caterpillar."
Promising New Product
Dr. W. D. Raldwin, of Haiku, ex
pects soon to make public figures and
other data in connection with some
interesting experiments which he is
making in connection with the grow
ing and handling of cassava. This
plant, which grows well in most parts
of the islands, would seem to have
food possibilities that have been
generally unsuspected. By slicing
the roots into thin chips and drying
them, a stock feed of high quality has
been obtained, and there is reason
to believe it may also prove an excel
lent food for human beings. It is in
the process of preparation that Dr.
Baldwin has probably made his most
interesting and promising discoveries.
